Suggestion
I would not recommend changing just the springs because most of them will not be compatable with the shocks.

The labor would be about the same if you replaced just the springs or the entire suspension.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Thank you all for the advice. Now we are the proud owners of this gorgeous 2003 C4 with only 33K miles. Now the real fun begins.. too bad I am on business travel until next week.

Welcome and congratulations! Wow, with only 33K miles, that's quite a find. I like the painted bumpers on your car, but not quite sure it would look good on mine.
I got mine about two months ago - just last night my wife asked me what happened to my original plan to drive it "occasionally" to work and on the weekends... It was a good plan, but tough to stick with... driving it brings a whole new joy to the commute and the hours I'm on the road (4:30 am and at 2:00 pm) the road is wide open to push it a little... Anyway, I'm thinking I'll go to the original plan when the newness wears off... but I don't see that happening any time soon.

Its been suggested by a friend and GT2 driver that I should get H&R or Eibach lowering springs installed. Presume they will work fine with stock socks. Now I will be perusing all of the info on suspension on this baby w/o going broke yet. I don't want to go extreme on it as I want wife to slowly adapt to subtle changes
Wood.. well not thrilled about it, but when I saw my wife's face light up and immediately told me to BUY IT... I just had to.. Wife Happy, Me Happy
Max Welcome and congrats! Nice looking P-car. GREAT color combo. The wheels look like BSA wheels.
About the springs..... I would not recommend changing just the springs because most of them will not be compatable with the shocks. This will cause the car to bounce and hit the bump stops too often and will shorten the life of the shocks. Full Porsche ROW M030 suspension is about $1,100. It will lower the car avout 25mm. The labor would be about the same if you replaced just the springs or the entire suspension.
+1 on the M030. I had this installed in my 03 C4 cab. and it made a significant difference in handling. $1086 delivered from Sunset Porsche, about $650 for install and alignment.
